Awareness is great. You'll get used to it. It's a great habit to just be aware of what you are putting in your body everyday. So many people stuff their faces everyday unconsciously and wonder why they are fat.

Good luck on those those lifts today. Hopefully you can end the week on a positive note.

WTF! I had another bad day at the gym. The problem is that I'm in this super negative slump, normally I'm walking into school singing whatever song was on the radio, smile at everyone, and flirting with the closest girl, but here recently due to the personal stuff I've been in a constant state of a bad mood. Its pouring over into my workout!

8x170

Bench

What do I need to do about my leg?

Actually, after looking it up, I believe it might be my hip adductor, should I continue to work through the pain, or will it be more beneficial even with the time crunch I'm under to just let it rest a week or something?

Get you some big blast from protein factory to drink after workout and before bed. The tropical orange is great and is very good quality yet expensive. You also get some Casein protein which digests slowly throughout the night. Or....eat about a cup of cottage cheese. Pre bed food is very important imo to prevent your body from fasting all night.

Yah I couldn't afford the big blast, but I've got Better Protein Bars, some good Protein shake mix, and I just started taking Casein protein before bed about a week ago.

What do I need to do about my leg?

Unfortunately it seems you have stalled. Probably because of the big jumps you took the previous week. As I already mentioned this program is about progression over a long period of time, not leaps and bounds early on.

It looks like you simply may need a deload, you seem to be under a lot of stress in you personal life, add in the heavy training and you may be in need of some easy work for a while.

I would suggest taking a step back, reset all your weight's back 4 weeks and start again. The weight will be light, you will be making all your lifts again and things will be positive. Follow the progression as is, don;t add more weight one week becasue you feel you can get it. By the time you are back to these weight's in 4 weeks time, you should be able to get them easy and keep going the following weeks.

Waht is wrong with your leg?
